The Empire Strikes Back - de la scenariu la film

Voi împrospăta memoria fanilor STAR WARS cu o secvenţă care a schimbat cultura SF a vremurilor noastre: confruntarea revelatorie Vader-Luke din Imperiul Contraatacă (Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back,S.U.A. 1980). Am găsit recent întregul script al filmului pe net, de unde am extras un fragment pe care l-am pus faţă în faţă cu decupajul cinematografic. În mod dubios, ediţia specială a celebrului film conţine un personaj în plus, care nu exista în scenariul original. Cine recunoaşte actorul care interpretează respectivul personaj va primi o felicitare !

CLOUD CITY

INTERIOR: GANTRY -- OUTSIDE CONTROL ROOM -- REACTOR SHAFT

Luke glances at the instrument complex floating away. At that instant, Vader's sword comes down across Luke's right forearm, cutting off his hand and sending his sword flying.In great pain, Luke squeezes his forearm under his left armpit and moves back along the gantry to its extreme end. Vader follows. The wind subsides. Luke holds on. There is nowhere else to go.

VADER: There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. You do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength,we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.

LUKE: I'll never join you!

VADER: If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.

LUKE: He told me enough! He told me you killed him.

VADER: No. I am your father.

Shocked, Luke looks at Vader in utter disbelief.

LUKE: No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!

VADER: Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

LUKE: No! No! No!

VADER: Luke. You can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and we can rule the galaxy as father and son. Come with me. It's the only way.

Vader puts away his sword and holds his hand out to Luke. A calm comes over Luke, and he makes a decision. In the next instant he steps off the gantry platform into space. The Dark Lord looks over the platform and sees Luke falling far below. The wind begins to blow at Vader's cape and the torrent finally forces him back, away from the edge."
